Vineyard - Wash Over Me Lyrics

When the tears are falling
And the leaves blow across my mind
When the waves are breaking
And the sun is hard to find

When the deep is calling
And the waterfall's my home
When I'm all but drowning
And I'm treading on my own

I cry a silent prayer
That comes out of me
It's a mystery
Come wash over me
Wash over me

There's a good chance that, given an opportunity, I'll be posing a lot of quotes from The Irresistible Revolution. But for right now, I just want to share two things. The first comes from an od prayer of a Danish pastor, Kaj Munk, the second from the author himself (Claiborne).

I can't help but worship when I hear/sing this song. There's something about this song that hits a very deep cord...and I love it:

Revelation Song
by Kari Jobe

Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat
[2X]

Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come

This summer I've really noticed how much I strugge with feeling like god loves me and thinks me special. I realized just how little I know him ( Read more... )

I just wanted to  let you all know all at once that as of right now I have a loan and just have to finish up the paper work and whatnot -- I say as of now because school still has to verify the amount I'm taking out. There's a killer processing fee and the interest rate is kinda high, but I'm going back to school and my parents didn't have to use ( Read more... )

Be praying with me, Body, because things for gettin' me back to school still haven't worked out. Either God doesn't want them to or He is working htem out and I can't see them. So, just pray that if God doesn't want me back there that He would make it abundently clear.

Thanks for the support, guys...
